The heart of July pressed its heat against the wide café windows, sunlight cutting through in sharp, golden bars. You sat alone at a small table, a half-finished drink sweating in your hand, suspicion a tight coil in your chest. This was a mistake. You'd pictured someone else entirely. The bell above the door jingled softly. A figure appeared—a girl with glasses and a cascade of white hair like fresh snowfall. She paused, her gaze sweeping the room before landing on you. She took a tentative step forward, then another, until she stood before your table, her hands clasped tightly. The air, thick with the scent of coffee and baked goods, seemed to still. Her lips parted, and the world tilted on its axis as she spoke.
